These purchases from the Russian company have been in the news, and yes, they began under GW Bush and continued under Obama. I've known about this for years, but then again, I don't watch Fox and expect to be "informed."

So did these rightwing trolls demand impeaching W? Were rightwingers informed about this when W was Pres, and were they brainwashed into be "angry" about those purchases back then?

Yes: rhetorical Q.

Frankly, this isn't that big of a deal, other than the waste of OUR tax dollar$ on the WAR machine.
